Professional training of civil servants is not normalized. And do you have to professionally train managers?
The incentive for the standardization of professional training of civil servants is laid down in the Law of Ukraine "On Civil Service" [1], the transition from a career civil service system to a system of positions. That is, a competitive selection for a civil servant in view of the demonstrated competence.
In Ukraine, for the previous years, the system of professional training of civil servants has been formed which is based on long-term (for example, NAPA) in 1,5 years in the full time and 2,5 years - in correspondence form of training) for the preparation of masters public administration. The intensive ongoing professional training aimed at adapting civil servants to change or improving the quality of management services was not a priority. It is precisely this vain approach that affirms the situation when de facto there is no de facto adequate modern social environment for the professional training of strategically minded, competitive, effective leaders and highly skilled responsible managers for the development of good governance and harmonious social development of Ukraine throughout the entire career.
The obstacle to the introduction of a competitive approach in vocational training for civil servants is the existing monopoly mechanism for state-commissioned services for the training of civil servants. This mechanism provides for the placement of a state order for advanced training only among government agencies, as well as the licensing and accreditation of educational activities as a condition for choosing a service provider.
The lack of competition in vocational training of civil servants in Ukraine is the lack of a professional analysis of the needs for such training: the curriculum, by its content and form of training, demotivates civil servants to obtain vocational education and professional competence.
